CATIA SHEET METAL ACCELERATING DESIGN OF SHEET METAL COMPONENTS, FROM DESIGN TO MANUFACTURING BENEFITS FAST AND EFFICIENT DESIGN OF SHEET METAL COMPLEX PARTS EASILY APPLY COMPANY-DEFINED STANDARDS TO ENSURE DESIGN QUALITY CREATE RIGHT FIRST TIME SHEET METAL PARTS THANKS TO DESIGN IN CONTEXT OF THE VIRTUAL PRODUCT Engineers need to design sheet metal components rapidly and compliantly with company rules and standards for efficient manufacturing. They have to create it right the first time and to experience smooth exchanges between suppliers and contractors. Industrial companies are constantly striving to reduce design-to-manufacturing cycles for complex sheet metal parts, while ensuring they are standard compliant. SHEET METAL PROCESS COVERAGE C onceptual Design: • ut ideas directly into an industrial context early on with a highly productive universal P hybrid modeling tool • magine in the concept phase without going into too much detail I • uickly create folded parts simply by pushing and pulling faces Q MANUFACTURABILITY CONSTRAINTS EARLY IN THE DESIGN PHASE AND SPEED UP ASSEMBLY DESIGN FOM RAPID PROTOTYPING IN BEND PART DESIGN, CONTINUE IN GENERATIVE SHEETMETAL DESIGN FOR MORE DETAILED FEATURES Detailed Design: • omplete 3D-based technological features representation (stamps, cutouts,…) C • asily apply company-defined standards to ensure design quality E • ecognize and modified external sheet metal parts (STEP & IGES) R • reate right first time sheet metal parts thanks to design in context of the virtual product C • anage the forming process directly in 3D, with an intuitive way M • ake into account manufacturability constraints early in the design phase and speed up T assembly design Manufacturing Preparation: • se company standards through templates and parameters tables enables the capture U of knowledge and avoids errors. Manufacturability is guaranteed. • utomatic flattening view generation from the 3D design part A • art manufacturing view encloses manufacturing specifications derived from P engineering specifications TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
